Associated Press: “It’s a complaint as old as the Congress, with leaders in both major political parties often turning to the torturous grind of an overnight session to exhaust members, overcome objections and push legislation to passage. But it’s a scenario that is playing out again and again, nearly business as usual, as the House and the Senate fracture and careen from one crisis to the next.”

“Lawmakers say it’s a symptom of a broken Congress that leaders are increasingly forced to govern in the dead of night.”
